Hutchinson Part 2

More pictures from the rest of our week in Hutchinson . . .

Check out this goofball!

On the 4th, we headed down to the Hutchinson parade with Grandma Cindy. The boys loved it and Logan is still talking about some of the characters he saw!

More pool time with Adi

This picture cracks me up with his walk, his cocked hat, and his swinging cotton candy! Watch out, Home Boy's here!

Grandma and Logan were very busy exploring

Sweet little Adilynn at the splash pad

They were having a blast!

I love pictures like this . . .Just playing in the dirt and Grandma's house!

High five for yard work!

Papa Bert helping Logan use the hammer to fix the fence . . .So sweet

Yes that is a snake in that cage! Logan loves to find them when we are there.

And the perfect ending to a wonderful trip . . . Chocolate cake! Can't Wait Till Next Time!

Hutchinson Part 1

After our Omaha trip the boys and I headed south to Hutchinson with my parents to meet up with Jeremy and Grandma and Papa Wright. We were spending the week of the 4th with them before heading back to California. The week was full of heat and late nights shooting fireworks and we had a great time! However, there was a very unfortunate event that took place while we there. Jeremy's Grandma, Grandma Mary, passed away while we were there. She had been put into Hospice the week before so we knew that time was coming. Although it was very sad to lose her, she had been fighting her age for quite some time so to know that she was at peace and with our Lord was also nice. We were also thankful that our family was able to be there to celebrate her beautiful life with the rest of the family.

Logan and Cousin Adi enjoying the water

Logan was not at all interested in the fireworks (which was looking to be a big problem with a Papa and Daddy who love them) until Papa brought out the earphones. From that moment on Logan said, "Bring em on!"

Love this picture

Papa Bert and Logan's finished puzzle

Jordy LOVED Adi but is also at the age of being too aggressive and rough so it was always necessary to be right by him when he was around her. Poor Adi . . . Next visit he WILL be softer. :)

Happy 4th of July! As you can see in most of the pics, my boys were in their swimsuits and diapers most of the week.

Logan made some friends during the week and one night they all sat and watched the fireworks together. It was super cute!

My parents spent a couple days in Hutchinson and on this night they were sitting watching fireworks with Grandma Cindy

Jordy was enjoying Grandma and Papa's backyard

Jeremy spent some time helping his parents by doing a lot of yard work. It was a lot of hard work. Such a good son!

Canadian Fishing Trip 2012

While the boys and I were in Omaha, Jeremy, his Dad, Bert, Brother, Jon, their good friend Matt, his step-Dad, and his neighbor were in Canada fishing for a week. As you can see, they caught some good sized fish and had a great time doing it.

Bert, starting the day off.

Some BEAUTIFUL scenery!

Look at that fish!

The Three Amigos!

A nice picture of the whole group!

Family Reunion With Grandpa Ed

The boys and I finished our trip in Omaha with a little family reunion with our Great/Grandpa Ed. It was wonderful to see all my family and all their children all together. The only one we were missing was my cousin Bryan.

Omaha Part 2

More from our Omaha trip included a trip to the zoo (Which btw is definitely the best zoo I have been to and that includes San Diego), checking out a cool art exhibit called "Architects of Air", catching up with a few old friends, and LOTS of time in the water and playing outside.

At the zoo in the Leid Jungle

The boys had such a good time with their Uncle Jack

Seeing "Crush" from "Finding Nemo" go right over their heads in the aquarium was super cool for them

Logan got to get up close to a baby gorilla and it's Mama. They stayed there and "talked" to Logan for quite some time. So neat!

Playing in Grandma's pool

The mowing duo!

We went downtown to check out the "Architects of Air" Art exhibit that stopped in Omaha on its national tour. It was something like a bounce house so I figured the boys would enjoy it but it was also a neat use of light and plastic to form this creative spaceship like environment. Not real sure how else to describe it. Logan thought it was awesome and really liked exploring the different tunnels and rooms but Jordy on the other hand was very unsure of the whole thing and wanted to be held most of the way through. It did make for some very interesting and neat pictures though.

Had the chance to see a couple of old friends from high school and their babies. I always LOVE seeing them.

This pictures shows how humid Omaha was. Every time I went outside with my camera it would fog up and I wouldn't be able to take pics for awhile. I thought this one was kind of cool though. Every night the boys would run the length of Grandma and Papa's backyard. I think they really enjoyed having an actual yard to play in.

They were discussing where in Grandma's garden to explore next.
